I've loved flying and been in and around flying machines since I was young. I have experience piloting full sized propeller aircraft as well as countless hours with R/C model aircraft. Flight has always been a passion of mine and when I found that I could mix it with another passion of mine, photography, I was hooked. I've been building custom R/C aircraft since I was 13 and filming using them since age 17. I now use a phantom 3 and have filmed events such as the Uwharrie 100 mile ultra marathon and also filmed for PBS Charlotte. I am a marketing major at Appalachian State University and in addition to contracting work also teach summer camps on drone operation and safety for young kids interested in STEM.
